blue cost couple dumb goal line plays twice within
I think we made a couple of dumb plays that cost us. We were within a goal twice and we gambled a couple of times on the blue line and it cost us big time.
good looked plays power rest three
We can look so good on two or three power plays a night. And then on the rest of them we looked like we?d never been on a power play in our lives.
kept plays win
He kept us in the game. With his play and had we made plays when we had to, we win the game.
difference hard period plays power second took
The first period we competed hard and battled hard and had some power plays and just couldn't capitalize. In the second they had some power plays and they took advantage. That was the difference in the game. After the first period they just took it to us.
gave scoring
We had a lot of breakdowns and gave them a lot of scoring chances.
gas hard nights played ran third
I think they ran out of gas in the third period. They played back-to-back nights and we played really hard in the third period. We were really disappointed with our first two periods.
stand
When something?s not working, you have to try different things. You can?t just stand pat.
game games hard playoffs possible shoot win
(The playoffs are) not going to be something we?re going to shoot for. But we?re going to come out and try and play hard every game and win as many games as possible and get things going in the right direction.
checking four goals worked
When you get four goals from your checking line, it's huge. They worked so hard.
dressing game guys hockey played team won
We were the better team tonight. We should have won the hockey game but we didn't. The guys played their tails off. I can't go in there (the dressing room) and tell them they didn't play well. They know they played well.
biggest chance clear ends ice puck stretch turn
To me, the biggest thing is we get a chance to clear the puck and we don?t clear the puck and we end up out on the ice for a long stretch of time. And the puck ends up in the net. Little things turn into big things.
lost momentum penalties trouble
We got into trouble with the penalties and lost a lot of momentum in the second.
best character coming hard hockey minutes played
We showed a lot of character coming back. We really competed hard and probably played the best 40 minutes of hockey this season.
calls couple good power
We made it 4-3 and unfortunately we got a couple of calls after that we didn't like and they scored on the power play. They got a pretty good power play.
